So today while staring into the abyss of the tank--I noticed that inside one of my many "rock holes" was a series of clear tubes--fairly large. About 3/16 inches wide and about 1 inch long---I am inclined to say that they are not tube worms because I know what those look like--but who am I to say no---Any ideas????
 
Thanks for any info!

OK these clear tube things are growing fast!  They have almost extended in length another 1/4 inch since a few days ago!  Now--even my students have noticed them!  For once--when they said "what is that" I had to say--I dont know!
 
They are a complete series of interconnected tubes---very jelly like in appearance--but very tubelike as well.  There are two of these things-on two seperate rocks.  Strange huh?  I would totally take a picture if I could but Mr. Anemone has decided to stretch his tentacles too far and shade these guys for most of the time, and the other one is in a spot that can only be seen at very strange angles!  Dang it!  Whatever they are they are neat!

I would say it is some sort of sponge.
